-
Step 1
Set up a place where you plan on storing your gift box. This can be in a basement, an extra room, under your bed or in a closet.
-
Step 2
Make a supply box consisting of wrapping paper (themed and plain), tape, scissors, gift bags, name tags or labels, pen and a notebook or piece of paper for making your list. You can also add bows and cards to the supply box. You want everything you will need to wrap the gift when you bring it home and then stash it away until you need it.
-
Step 3
Make a list of the people and events that you are plan to purchase gifts for. Then under their names, write any gifts that you already know you want to purchase.
-
Step 4
As you purchase the gifts, you will wrap them and label them with the person's name. Since you are buying early, there is always a chance the person may get the item before you have time to give it to them as a gift. To make it easy to know which gift is which, write a small number on each of the labels. Make a list with corresponding numbers and write on that list what the gift is. Then if you do need to take it back, it is easy to figure out which gift it is.

Step 5
Put your gift in the storage box and off you go to purchase more. Have an envelope at your desk to store these receipts in case you need them. And sit back and enjoy the holiday because you are ready!
